WesternDramaRomance

While filing for a divorce, beautiful ex-stripper Roslyn Taber ends up meeting aging cowboy-turned-gambler Gay Langland and former World War II aviator Guido Racanelli. The two men instantly become infatuated with Roslyn and, on a whim, the three decide to move into Guido's half-finished desert home together. When grizzled ex-rodeo rider Perce Howland arrives, the unlikely foursome strike up a business capturing wild horses.

A haunting, dusty portrait of fractured souls adrift in the American West. It feels like the end of an era, full of yearning, regret, and a desperate search for connection amidst the vast, indifferent desert.
